met marina & her sis on train and we walked to sch.
went to the music centre first to put my violin in the storeroom.
first 2 periods were psychology. it's fun!!!
mr caras indeed, is a fantastic psy teacher ever!!!
he talks bout some 'brain research methods'.
i sorta went through the pages and i read something interesting.
---------------------------
there was this guy, named 'Phineas Gage', who was a construction foreman working on a new railway line in the US state of Vermont. In order to remove a large rock in the way of the track, he poured gunpowder into a deepm narrow hole drilled into the rock. The gunpowder was packed in tightly with an iron rod before a fuse was lit to ignite it. The rod was more than a metre long, 3.5 cm in diameter and weighed 6kg. As Gage was packing down the gunpowder, a spark from the rod ignited the gunpowder and blew the rod into Gage's left cheek and out through the top of his skull. After going through his skull, the rod is said to have landed somwhere between 20 & 50m away, depending on which report is read. Gage was pushed backwards and fell to the ground. His body began to shake uncontrollably, but he was till ALIVE. Within mins of the acident, he was reported as itting up and talking to people near him. The doctor attending him was able to stop the bleeding, and cleaned out loose bits of brain tissues and bone before dressing the wound.
There was no indication that Gage's mental capabilities had been affected by the accident, despite the frontal love damage. However, the once friendly, considerate and quietly spoken Gage is reported as having become impatient, crudely spocken, aggressive, irresponsible, uncontrollable and hard to get alonw with. 12 yrs later, at the age of 37, he died.
Yrs later, when Gage's doc learned of Gage's death, he petitioned Gage's family to exhume the body and allow him to keep Gage's skull and the rod as a 'medical record'. These are on display in a museum at Harvard Uni in America.
Jux to summarise the last part, it was due to the damage of Gage's frontal lobe that had caused a big change in his personality.
If u guyz are interesting in the case study of Gage, do some research in wikipedia, and probably would be able to find a few pictures indicating the path of the iron rod, which entered the skull below the left eye and exited through the top of the head, severely damaging both frontal lobes.

after psy was my free period, went to the library and met tony.
he's funny. i dunno why. jux by looking at him can make mii laugh.
after that was music. we did theory. boring~
Clinton (thx vic for giving mii the correct spelling), was sitting beside mii and he was kinda freaked out not knowing wat's going on.
Rohan was like saying "i cant give u the answers, u have to figure it out URSELF!!!"
